I figure tons of people know about this already, but just in case...

Not a steal, but $300 off a whole bike that tends to get solid reviews ain't bad.

Hey Guys and Girls,
I know you're not suppose to sell items here that specifically belong to you. But I think my situation is an exception.
So awhile back I saw a Surly Steamroller on craigslist for sale. I think his initial price was somewhere around $4** something. He listed it with no pictures or anything.
But I emailed him and offer after finding out the size was a 56cm and it was black and in like new condition.
After many...many negotiations and emails, I was able to get it for $300. Now my initial intentions were to use it as a winter bike, however, I managed to fit 35 wide tires onto my Iro Mark V so I do not really need it anymore.
But I feel bad if I back out of the deal now so I am still going ahead and buying it from him.
So I guess I am here to pass the deal to someone who might also be in the Chicagoland/Illinois region. I am currently in Champaign/Urbana, so if you are willing to pick it up, you can have it for $300. I can show screenshots of email to verify that $300 is indeed the price I paid.
I can also take pictures and upload more info after picking up the bike tomorrow.
PM me or email me at law7@illinois.edu if you are interested.

Negatory. I already have a pump. I'm working on restraining impulse buys.

This crankset has been sitting in my workshop forever, waiting for a project that never happened. It was installed and removed, but never used. So, it's as good as new.
$225. I think they retail for >$350.

Also have:
Nitto B-123 Steel, Chrome. 40cm
Nitto B-125 Steel, Chrome. 39mm
$35 each

The shoes are nice, or at least nice to a guy who has never owned road shoes. The clips.. well.. I sketched out walking down the stairs from the deck to the driveway. Got clipped in okay with one foot, started to slow down as I missed clipping in on 3 revolutions, looked down, started to b&tch myself out for not clipping in, then fell over sideways. These will take some time to get used to.
